EXPLORE MYSTERY ISLE

Easter Island, loneliest inhabited isle in the Pacific, will be invaded by two scientific expeditions this year.

A party of French-Belgian-Swiss scientists has already landed. Americans will arrive later. The men of science will climb grassy hillsides of the island to peer at hundreds of great stone faces that have so far out-sphinxed the sphinx in determined silence about the past.
